Ok, guys, before the family heads out to Maine (we are going here: Wells, ME), just wanted to shout out my Follow Friday Twitter list for July 17. Enjoy!
@holdemtalkradio: Jaime is a FORCE OF NATURE. You cannot stop him, you can only hope to contain him. His LA-based radio show on LA Talk Radio plays during the drive time (8 pm PST) in Los Angeles. Don’t let the show fool you, Jamie is a sweetheart of a guy, a huge sports fan, a gentle soul with passion, integrity and drive. His energy is infectious (and so are his tweets!) and he is a true soul. Mark my words: Jamie is the next big thing on talk radio. You heard it here, folks. Can’t wait to be on his show in August.
@1sweetwhirl: Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, my Boston Twitter experience would truly suffer without you. I just love when you show up in my stream and we dissect the Red Sox and share our crazed passion for the Nation and other content. I do plan to arrange that marriage to Wally for you.
@unmarketing: Scott is the man, simple as that. He is the perfect example of a social media engager, and it doesn’t hurt that he has an amazing attitude and soul. Scott exemplifies the code we should all follow on Twitter: we all started at zero once, and we should never forget that even with all the numbers we gain, we are still all the same here and we should all take the time to get to know our followers and just hit that @ button all the time. Scott, thank you, for being so damn cool.
@mdouble: Marvin was one of the first people I truly connected here on Twitter when I was starting at zero and I am so happy to have him as part of my Twitter life. His cartoons are quirky, his insight amazing, he offers great content all the time, and he is so nice and so funny. I am happy to call him a true Twitter friend.
@pilariglesias: Ok, first of all, Pilar is one of my favorite names in the whole world. Next, she is so cool and a great engager. And finally, her bio says “slinky internationalist.” Come on! So creative. As a writer, when I see a phrase like that, I have to applaud it and celebrate it.
By the way, did you know that three of my Twitter recs this week are based in Canada? Canada and Twitter: perfect together.

OMG, you are the BEEEEEEEEEEEEEST! Thank you so much for putting me on this list Julio! I’m humbled & touched & happy & (Bucholz is pitching tonight.. lol.. sweet) & think you are 100% awesome! I’m so honored to be on a list with Jamie. Love him 2! And Wally (my future husband) is following me now, so its just a matter of time before he discovers how charming I can be and that he cant live without me. AND how I am worthy of attending every Red Sox Game for free & forever and perhaps sit up in his “namesake” for a 2nd time. By the way, I am so desperate for baseball, I was watching the Pawtucket game last night and the night before that was the Sox Vs Yankees replay from this season. We know who won – ROTFL! Thanks again for being such a sweetheart!
Go Sox!
OMG, so my son and I were not the only ones who watched the PawSox game last night? We are pathetic. Tonight, we are back to normal. All the best, my friend. Yeah, Jaime is awesome. Love him.
Did you see… Lugo was designated for assigment.
Oh yeah, I tweeted about it!
